New licensure regulations significantly impact student enrollment, curriculum development, and staff and faculty workloads. WAICU members are addressing these requirements with help from The Bookmark, a clearinghouse of licensure requirements compiled and updated by Higher Education Licensure Pros (HELP). Under WAICU’s enterprise license, nine WAICU member institutions are currently enjoying access to exclusive resources:
